Class Mark and Boundaries
The midpoint L+U2: class 1-10 has mark 1+102 = 5.5; class 11-20 has mark 15.5. If you know only the mark and h, the class runs from x - h/2 to x + h/2. Those ends are the boundaries you would use on a histogram. Keep one column for marks when you compute Sigma f x later.

CORE UNDERSTANDING
The midpoint L+U2: class 1-10 has mark 1+102 = 5.5; class 11-20 has mark 15.5. If you know only the mark and h, the class runs from x - h/2 to x + h/2. Those ends are the boundaries you would use on a histogram. Keep one column for marks when you compute Sigma f x later.
EXAM APPLICATION
State the correct term, connect it to the chapter rule or evidence, and use a clear example or calculation.
